Childcare Students take part in a junk modelling event.
The year 11 Childcare students took part in a junk modelling event with community artist, Janet Crymble from the Bryson Play Resource Center.
In one of Blessed Trinity College’s many classrooms, the GCSE Childcare students paid close attention, not only to the lesson, but the detail of their materials and it was reflected in their artistic projects! They spent a ton of time snipping, sticking and sensibly making masterpieces. This pleasant workshop helped the students pick up on crafty ideas for their year 12 practical projects and create some unforgettable, recyclable memories.
This workshop blended in perfectly with Blessed Trinity College's ethos of Eco School. Eco Committee Co-Ordinator Mr. Leneghan said, "As a green flag school, these events are really important to ensure that we are meeting our aims and objectives in our Eco- journey."
Janet Crymble came in to help mentor our students from Bryson Play Resource Center - a registered charity that collects non-toxic waste materials and has benefited over 300,000 children every year. This has helped our childcare students realise the importance of recycling and being aware of the environment around us. As Michaela McNeill - Beck, Year 11, told us, “I think the childcare junk modelling was really fun and we had full reign over our creative approach to the projects! I think it was great that we could work with recycled products.”
The childcare department worked well, ripping open the world of art and recycling to make a crafty project and have a great time.
